Hey there,
The built-in unit of measurement for my household unit of measurement room is done, but at final infinitesimal I was running only about to discovery some pretty door knobs!
Well, I got them too every bit I promised on my final post, here's the floor of how I got my hands on this beautiful knobs.
Yep. I almost settled for these ones downwards below from Target, I liked them a lot, but they were out of stock when I was interested inward them. Ha, afterwards all, I'm glad that happened.

Ha, this former heed had forgotten all well-nigh them! I got these beautiful knobs long fourth dimension agone at a Restore for less to nothing. I used a expert sum of them inward my son's room, inward the closet too the built-ins where I used them inward its rustic stage.
However, for my novel projection I wanted to larn a dissimilar route. I loved their mushroom blueprint too brass base, but the wooden, rustic await had to go.
Let me demo you lot how I gave these tired door knobs a novel polished look.
1. SEPARATING THE WOOD FROM THE METAL
The showtime business was to divide the forest from the metallic base of operations yesteryear using a heat gun to melt the mucilage that held both pieces together.
Each knob was held amongst a vice grip piece the rut from the rut gun was directed to the it's back.
Then, both pieces were separated using a really small-scale too thin spatula.
Glue left on the metallic base of operations was also removed.
2.CLEANING THE METAL BASE
This was the dirtiest knob of the whole bunch, it took a expert sum of effort too Bar Keepers Friend to brush away all that dirt.
The cease resultant was quite evident. Love them!
3. PAINTING THE WOODEN TOP
Dried mucilage was also removed from the wooden pieces too a low-cal sanding amongst a 120 grid sandpaper was done to removed the clear shiny coating earlier epitome them.
After dusting them, they were hit for paint.
In fellowship to brand things a flake easier, double sided tape was added on the bottom of each wooden slice for ii reasons, first, I didn't desire the pieces flight inward the air piece spray epitome them.
Secondly, I had to lift them for pigment non to pool underneath each i of them.
It all worked similar a charm. :)
